A Little Bit of Everything — Local services in Pawtucket

My adult children rave about this place. I've been there twice, and I find it to be dingy and claustrophobic. The building looks big on the outside, but the store itself is quite small in comparison. The prices are NOT lower, except for a few random items. (For example, Kraft mac and cheese for 75 cents a box. I see that on sale for $1 a box all the time.) You can't count on the same items always being there. I think they just buy lots of random things when there is an availability. I expected it to be similar to Ocean State Job Lot, where they have the same basic things, like the same foods or housewares or tools, but even cheaper. Even though Job Lot doesn't always have the same "exact brand" in stock everytime, you can always count on them to have the same items, sunglasses or packaged nuts or coffee mugs or inexpensive spices or shampoo, etc. A Little Bit of Everything has a very limited and random selection of shelf stable foods that change all the time.. They have fresh foods, too, like baked goods and bread. Today, for example, there were cherry tomatoes and potatoes . I did get a 10 lb bag of potatoes for $4.99, but I know those will not always be available. They also have a lot of kitchen and home appliances that seem to have been opened and returned or the packaging is damaged, which doesn't bother me, except that they are more expensive there than at Walmart or Amazon. For example, they had a name brand scale there for $40, and I had purchased that same scale a couple of weeks ago from Amazon for only $20. They also have random home furnishings and, right now, patio furniture and, again, some random outdoor accessories. There were also some clothing items, like t-shirts and pajama pants. All in all, unless you live in Pawtucket, I wouldn't waste the time or the gas. They do, however, accept EBT cards, if that is something that is...

Every time I come here, it’s always something different. In terms of items, variety, produce, clothing, people, and customer service. About half the items are priced appropriately discounted, but also that leaves the other half wildly overpriced. (As in, I could get the same product, new, fresher, for less $). Customer service is hit or miss. If the employees aren’t running around the store yelling and screaming at each other, it’s a good day. The aisles are small, there is product everywhere, and the shopping carts are huge, so there is some evasive maneuvering to be done, especially if it’s busy. I do have to say, it’s really aggravating to be in line at checkout for 10 minutes while being ignored by staff. Looked at, made eye contact, then walked away. HELLO? I get that everyone is busy, but is my time also not valuable? Associates are available to help carry large purchases out to your car, which I really appreciate! Overall this place is a mixed bag, sometimes you get lucky and other...

Want to buy other places throwaway products? This will be the place.. they sell food, (most of them expired, be careful) and prices are quite confusing, they put their own pricing then there is always a 50%discount out of that... hmmm why don't you tag the prices including the discount? They sell stuff like the free sugar from 7-eleven, yes you read that right, the little sugar packets that are free at 7-eleven they sell them... you have to inspect (bring a magnifier glass.. if you want to be careful) before you buy it.. expired stuff from stop and shop, cereal boxes that looks like they were taken from the trash, and taped them after, broken stuff, and if you don't notice that.. I don't know what happens when you find out.. ceiling is falling (out of code? ) Please see pictures.. the lady that took care of me was extremely nice, (she got the stars for this review) pat? Patty? I can't...
